Chapter 489: Blank Paper
Chen Zhixian gave a salute to Lin Yanchao, which made everyone present very embarrassed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the moment, everyone thought that Chen Zhixian might be dizzy, so they tried their best to excuse Chen Zhixian, such as the sunshine is too good today, in short, haha.
That's how it was revealed.
In addition to Chen Zhixian, there is also an old man who came with him. The people present didn't know his details, everyone only called him Lu Weng, I heard that he was Dong Qichang's teacher, and even Wang Heng and a scholar present were also taught by him, and they should be in the wilderness, so they are very respected.
Even Chen Zhixian didn't dare to take the lead when he saw him, but sat aside and pushed Lu Weng as the first seat.
Hua Chuanfang invited Chen Zhixian and Lu Weng to come here to make a judgment for this meeting.
There is no first, there is no second, and the literati are habitually light, so they always have to promote justice and integrity at the literary meeting, so that they can learn to judge by people admired by all parties.
Seeing that everyone was recommended, Chen Zhixian said very politely: "The Tang and Song dynasties were prosperous with poetry, and now they are articles, and those who are detailed are big products, and those who are omitted are small pieces. β
Chen Zhixian is also reasonable, the way of poetry, the predecessors have reached a height, and at the same time, the Ming Dynasty took the article as the sect. Readers feel that no matter how uniform the literary meeting is, it is no longer so appropriate to talk about poetry.
And when talking about articles, such articles that expound grand principles, are solemn and rigorous, and are more relevant to the way of carrying the Tao, they are not suitable for discussion when scholars are traveling.
Therefore, this kind of easy-to-mouth, leisurely and casual essays have gradually gained a market at the literary meeting.
Chen Zhixian continued: "Commenting on the article, I secretly think that if you don't know the world of the ancients, you can't talk about the ancients. Knowing its world, not knowing the location of the ancients, and not talking about its text, your article, this official knows its reason, does not know its situation, and does not dare to comment on it. β
Everyone knows that Chen Zhixian's words are self-humble, so as not to upset others when he comments on the article.
So a scholar named Zhang Junting said: "The county respects, Han Yue has clouds, and if the gentleman occupies his position, he thinks of his official death, and if he does not get the position, he thinks about his rhetoric to understand his way." The county respects me and other articles, such as helping me to wait for enlightenment, I am too late to be grateful. β
After this scholar finished speaking, everyone said yes together, please Chen Zhixian don't care about it for a while, and feel free to comment.
Seeing that everyone said this, Chen Zhixian pinched his beard and nodded, and then asked Lu Weng for advice. Lu Weng nodded in agreement.
So Chen Zhixian said to everyone: "Today in the West Lake for the literary meeting, everyone also writes an article, with one leaf as the width and one stick of incense as the limit." Let Ben Guan and Lu Weng have a glance at the masterpieces of the three Wu talents. β
Everyone said yes and then took their seats.
At this moment, the wind is blowing on the West Lake, and the waves are rising on the lake. However, the five boats were stable on the surface of the lake, and did not shake at all. And they all sat in peace.
As for the cabin in the painting boat, it is very large, and the more than 20 scholars that can accommodate it are not too small, and this seat is also one person per seat.
After everyone sat down, Hua Chuanfang glanced at Lin Yanchao, snorted disdainfully, and said in his heart Why is this person so cheeky, and he still stays on the boat, I need to humiliate this person for a while.
So Hua Chuanfang beckoned to his subordinates and gave a few orders.
After a while, the curtains on the left and right sides of the cabin were raised, but I saw the beautiful maid holding the four treasures of the study, and the fish penetrated inside.
The maid put the four treasures of the study room on the table in front of everyone's table, and then followed the attendants.
Everyone pondered that the leaf of paper that Chen Zhixian said was so big on the case, and at most two or three hundred words could be written, which was also a limited length.
Then a maid lit incense sticks in front of Chen Zhixian and Lu Weng.
Many of the scholars were holding their pens, while others were motionless, closing their eyes and contemplating, as if they were making a draft.
For Lin Yanchao, this article will just go through the motions, and Yuan Hongdao is kind and wants to make a name for him. But Lin Yanchao is already famous all over the world now, so why bother to come to this occasion to make any limelight, don't pretend to be forced if you have nothing to do.
So Lin Yanchao thought to himself that it would be good to write a mediocre article at will to deal with the past, and he would immediately hire a boat to go south to go home to save his relatives, which was the serious thing in front of him.
Such entertainment articles, Lin Yanchao did not write much in the Hanlin Academy. After he won the top prize, the eunuchs in the palace and many officials came to beg him to write articles, wanting to use them as ink treasures, hide them at home, and keep them for his family.
At the beginning, one or two were so good, but when there were too many people to ask for it, Lin Yanchao couldn't resist it.
Over time, Lin Yanchao has also been tempered, and the articles that are dealt with in this way are also written smoothly, and they are simply written with a pen, so they are called entertainment works. Later, with Sun Chengzong catching the knife, he didn't have to spend much brainpower.
So when Lin Yanchao was about to pick up the pen and grind the ink on his waist, he frowned, and turned his head to look at Hua Chuanfang, who was struggling to write.
It turned out that the four treasures of the study room in front of Lin Yanchao, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, were missing. How to write without ink called Lin Yanchao? If you are full of money, you can't bite your fingers and write bloody books!
So Lin Yanchao could only put down his pen and sit with his hands on his knees.
People on the left and right are writing articles there, and Lin Yanchao is a bit of a goose like this, as if Jiang Lang is exhausted, and he can't brew an article, as if he wants to hand in a blank volume.
Now that half of the incense has passed, everyone present has put pen to paper, only Lin Yanchao is sitting in place.
At this time, Dan saw Hua Chuanfang throw the pen, the sleeves of his arms were long and flung back, and then picked up the scroll and handed it to the maid beside him, who was the first to hand over the article to Chen Zhixian.
Why was this Hua Chuanfang the first to hand in the papers?
Lin Yanchao wants to come to this person to be vassal, the articles are all bought to serve as a faΓ§ade, and at this moment, he has already asked someone to write it on his behalf, and he only needs to write it silently, of course, he is the first to hand in the paper.
Of course, after watching this scene, if you don't know the details, you still think that Hua Chuanfang is talented.
After Hua Chuanfang, the rest of the scholars also wrote the article one after another.
After a stick of incense, everyone else handed in the manuscript, and only Lin Yanchao was left on the field.
Lin Yanchao also smiled, took the blank paper in front of him and handed it to the maid beside him. The maid pursed her lips and smiled, and handed Lin Yanchao the white paper.
Because it was a maid who changed hands, Chen Zhixian didn't see that it was handed over by Lin Yanchao, but when he saw that it was a blank piece of paper, his brows furrowed slightly.
Of course, this is a literary meeting, not an imperial examination, and it doesn't matter if you hand in a blank paper, but here the three Wu celebrities gather, and you can't write an article on such an occasion, and you hand over a blank piece of paper, which is really a shame on the name of a celebrity.
Chen Zhixian, in line with the principle of showing mercy to others, did not say anything, put Lin Yanchao's blank paper at the end, and talked about the article with Lu Weng on the side.
The article at the top of the volume is, of course, Hua Chuanfang's.
So Chen Zhixian was the first to read Hua Chuanfang's article. Hua Chuanfang smiled, looked left and right, and then straightened up, obviously extremely confident in his article. (To be continued.) )
